In Mongolia archaeologists discover permafrost mummy with fur coat

Research workers of the German archaeological institute have discovered a mummy in permafrost at excavation work in Mongolia of approximately 2,500 years old.
At the "sensational find" of a sepulchre chamber of the Scythian rider people a crew of the German television sender ZDF were present.
In front of the camera the archaeologists opened the sepulchre where the mummy of the Scythian soldier was stored. The mummy, conserved in permafrost, carried still a fur coat and had a decorated gilded head ornament.
According to the scientists the discovery is similar with those of the legendary Ötzi in 1991, and the tattooed siberian ice princess from 1993.

That was somewhat after the founding of Rome. There would be no reason to suppose that Rome was not in contact with China all along.

Well, that certainly seals it for once and for all... Global warming has been proven. 2500 years ago in Mongolia they wore fur coats, while today in Mongolia they wear, um, well I guess that they still wear fur coats in Mongolia these days... Never mind...

What's strange is that Scythia was in southeastern Europe.

Did Europeans invade Mongolia before the Mongols invaded Europe?

A wool jacket with fur on the inside may have kept him warmer.

In some of the earliest letters from Scotland to the Pope they start off
"We are the Scots who were the Scythians..."

Mongolia, huh? This could explain a lot of behaviour at soccer matches.

Yes. I spent quite a bit of time yesterday putting this thread together. Interesting read if you have the time.
